Sunday, June 6
● Tracked: Yes.
● Calories: Under.
● Exercise: Just under Half hour bike ride
My gears stopped shifting during my ride, so I couldn’t do either faster or longer. Rode up and down some neighborhood hilly roads to at least get in “harder” since I couldn’t shift, LOL. Took it to the mechanic today and will hopefully get it back this week.
I had to break out my other bike for today. But I’ll tell you about that tomorrow.
I did my exercise calorie calculation manually based on some research papers I found on-line, because so many trackers are sooooo far off. Even so, I think I figured out what to blame (other than peanut butter and other such calorie ignorance) for my weight gain. I used to ride a lot, and haven’t for a couple of years.3 -
Krysless, that would be an awesome offer I’d take you up on in a second if I had a Fitbit. I should look into getting one.1

Week 2 Day 2
Monday 8th June
Tracked - Yes
Under cals - Yes
Exercise - Yes
Steps - 13055
We've only actually moved recently and I ended up on a walk that lasted over 80 mins because I got so lost! At least it boosted the steps?
New bike should also be arriving this week, I don't know if anyone else here is from the UK but I have to say I am very nervous about going on the roads. Last time I was on a bike I was on Venice beach which is far from what I'll be dealing with here.5 -
NRTyreman, The boardwalk on Venice beach was really nice! So, I have been to the UK and the roads are like when I used to ride in the countryside. Windy, hilly and narrow and no shoulder. That means the cars need to see you. Helmet blinking light on the back of the helmet, day-glo shirt or road works vest and I wore one of those reflective bands on my ankle. The eye picks up movement more quickly and your leg will be moving. That’s all I’ve got. Except that I also noticed UK drivers are way better than us

good shout about the reflective bands! I am a UK bred, not born but I can assure you we have terrible drivers too, me being one of them. Just ever ridden on a bike on the roads here hopefully it won't be as scary as it looks.

Week 2 Day 2
Monday 8th June
Tracked - Yes
Under cals - Yes. Saved some of my exercise calories for a planned outing on Thursday, where I might go over daily goal.
Exercise - 1.5 hour bike ride
I had to break out my fancy road bike for yesterday. Which meant I also had to wear my “I am a serious biker” outfit. LOL, I felt like such a fraud in my red-faced and sweaty and out of shape self. Which is silly. I rode extra to make up for riding my faster bike, which was also silly because I forgot all about something I was reminded of this morning, and which I will tell you about tomorrow.4 -
DAILY POST [W2-D2]
Monday, June 7th.
● Tracked: Yes.
● Calories: Under.
● Exercise: I went on a walk with my dog. 44 minutes, 1.54 miles.
● Steps: 5642 / 6000 <step goal - I got close to my goal, just didn't move enough yesterday.
I almost skipped out on my walk, but I had already put my workout clothes on. My dog knew we were leaving the house so she was super excited. I couldn't let her down, lol.

My user name for Fitbit is the same as here - Waifer003 - at least I think it is lol. Or else it’s Tammy H.1 -
Fitbits not very user-friendly when it comes to adding friends!! That’s an oxymoron, isn’t it? Anyway, My username is the same there as it is here... so y’all know 😊 And also just a heads up I don’t think you can send MFP messages unless you’re MFP friends 🤦🏻♀️ It still feels like a Monday Over here in Florida!!3

Week 2 Day 3
Tuesday 9th June
Tracked - Yes
Under cals - Yes
Exercise - Yes
Steps - 12587
Oh god I so nearly went over my cals yesterday, turns out sushi is my one weakness, I had to beg my husband to finish the last bits before I did
I had actually cut out all refined carbs when I started almost 3 months ago now and I am trying to slowly reintroduce them, in moderation but there's something about inari nigiri that just speaks to me on a different level. Anyone else got a food weakness?5 -

Week 2 Day 3
Tuesday 9th June
Tracked - Yes
Under cals - Yes
Exercise - Yes
One hour bike ride. Well, looks like I will need to grow some new butt calluses for bike #2, LOL. This bike used to feel like an extension of my body, but now it felt like sitting on Mt Vesuvius I know it’ll go away, but ouch!
Yes, NRTyreman, I have a weakness for all high fat dairy items you can think of. I have had a very hard time upping my protein and decreasing my fat macros to something approaching a human diet…still working on that. Sushi is delicious!
